Phelps sets records every time he entered the water, the men's gymnastics team gets the bronze, girls gymnasts get the silver.
Just reading that it sounds like we did great so far, but I fear that all anyone in the gymnastics community will remember was Alicia Sacramone's performance this evening. This really stinks since Alicia is easily my favorite gymnast on the team. And even though the Chinese would have more than likely won the gold simply based on a superior performance, the loss of the gold will rest on Alicia's shoulders alone in the eyes of the general public. This is the USA after all and it seems at times that the only thing we like more than a winner is a someone to blame.
I certainly hope that we all can take a look at how great all of the American competitors have done and lend them our support during the rest of the Olympics, and maybe send out your thoughts or prayers to the Alicia and the rest of the girls who still get to perform later this week in individual events.
